Synopsis "How the Bible Works: An Anthropological Study of Evangelical Biblicism (Cognitive Science of Religion)"
What do evangelicals believe when they _believe in the Bible_? Despite hundreds of English versions that differ in their texts, evangelicals continue to believe that there is a stable text_the Bible_which is the authoritative word of God and an essential guide to their everyday lives. To understand this phenomenon of evangelical Biblicism, anthropologist and biblical scholar Brian Malley looks not to the words of the Bible but to the Biblebelieving communities. For as Malley demonstrates, it is less the meaning of the words of the Bible itself than how _the Bible_ provides a proper ground for beliefs that matters to evangelicals. Drawing on recent cognitive and social theory and extensive fieldwork in an evangelical church, Malley's book is an invaluable guide for seminarians, social scientists of religion, or for anyone who wants to understand just how the Bible works for American evangelicals.
